    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for inferring a condition of at least one analytical device based on at least one automatic notification received over a network from the analytical device is disclosed. The method comprises receiving, at a data processing agent, at least one automatic notification from at least one analytical device, processing, at the data processing agent, the at least one automatic notification, to thus identify one or more characteristics of the at least one automatic notification from the at least one analytical device, inferring, at the data processing agent, the condition of the at least one analytical device, by applying the one or more identified characteristics to a model; and generating, at the data processing agent, a notification reporting the inferred condition of the analytical device.

    Abstract: The present disclosure refers to a method for operating a sorter device in an IVD laboratory system, the method comprising providing a sorter device in an IVD laboratory system provided with a system operation controller, the sorter device having a plurality of sample container racks each provided with reception holes for receiving sample containers, a handling device configured to pick sample containers from and place sample containers in the reception holes of the sample container racks, a sorter device controller configured to control operation of the sorter device and connectable to the system operation controller, and an output device functionally connected to the sorter device controller and configured to output at least one of audio data and video data. The sorter device is configured in a pre-operation process, the configuring comprising: assigning the plurality of sample container racks to a plurality of processing sub-targets conducted by the IVD laboratory system in operation, wherein a first sample container rack is assigned to a first processing sub-target and a second sample container rack is assigned to a second processing sub-target which is different from the first processing sub-target, and assigning to the first sample container rack a first threshold value indicative of a first threshold number of sample containers in the first sample container rack, wherein the first threshold number of sample containers is smaller than a maximum number of sample containers receivable in the first sample container rack. The sorter device is operated in an operation process, the operating comprising: placing sample containers in the reception holes of the first sample container rack by the handling device, determining a first present number of sample containers received in the first sample container rack by the sorter device controller, comparing the first present number of sample containers to the first threshold value by the sorter device controller, and if the first present number of sample containers is equal to or greater than the first threshold value, outputting a first warning data through the output device. Furthermore, an IVD laboratory system is provided.

    Abstract: A method for determining a vertical position of a horizontally extending interface between first and second components is presented. The first and second components are contained in a laboratory sample container in layers vertically separated from each other. The method comprises generating first data, generating second data in the form of picture data of the laboratory sample container containing the first and second components, determining a first probability distribution function in response to the first data, determining a second probability distribution function in response to the second data, and determining the vertical position of the horizontally extending interface depending on the first and second probability distribution functions. The first data depend on the vertical position of the horizontally extending interface. The first and second probability distribution functions assign a probability of the presence of the horizontally extending interface to a vertical position.
